Talent in a Previous Life

Because It's Never Just About the Music

Kerry Katona, ex-Kitten, has just been crowned Queen of the Jungle in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, thus proving conclusively that girl-pop is better than punk, glamour modelling, pec-enhanced boy pop, football and whatever else the other so-called celebs did for their so-called living. This obviously comes as no surprise to most of us, but it's always good for the rest of the population to be reminded of this fact.

During her time in the jungle, Kerry spent much of her time squealing, putting unpleasant and foul tasting things in her mouth and living her day to day existence based on the whims of the Great British public, always aware that she could get dropped at a moments notice - an existence very similar to that of your average girl band member, which probably explains why she was so successful in this competition.

Kerry was, of course, a founder member of Atomic Kitten. While we can often be quite mocking of the Kittens on these pages, we do accept that for a while they were very good. Unfortunately after releasing Right Now, See Ya and I Want Your Love they visted the well of the pop ballad and drank deeply from it, becoming bloated and overloaded with the bland tasting nonsense that goes with it. Fortunately for Kerry though, she became bloated with a baby instead and left the band, so she was never quite tainted with the same blurred out lack of identity the other girls have. Even if she did make the mistake of marrying the ugly one out of Westlife, i.e. any one of them.

So, yay for Miss Katona. If Mysterious Girl is getting a re-release thanks to Mr Andre's appearance in the show, surely the time is right for I Want Your Love to re-enter the nations hearts? For anything else to happen would simply be insania.
